Words for Water – Tracey Benson @ Huw Davies Gallery

The enclosed space at the Huw Davies Gallery is often devoted to video art. Currently it has a great work focused on water around the world. The screen flicks through arial clips of meandering rivers taken from satelites and the sequencing gives a marvelous sense of the diversity of the landscapes around rivers. there are heavily cropped areas, almost desert areas, rich green spans and combinations. On the floor nearby there are a set of small, square back-lit screens with photographs of other rivers. The technology to do these sorts of shots is relatively new and the product is beautiful in a grand way.
